I've been reading the recent IH posts about silent failures — the $2,300/month Stripe leak, the founder who went quiet on the audit call, the FastAPI app that suffocated on its own logs over 4 days. Different stories, same shape:
The app looks healthy. The dashboard looks normal. Sentry is quiet. But the work between requests — the webhook, the cron, the queue worker, the AI job — is silently broken.
Existing tools cover the request path well. They cover the work between requests poorly:
Sentry catches exceptions, but a webhook returning 200 with an empty handler throws no exception.
Healthchecks / Cronitor catches missed heartbeats, but not "the job ran but produced stale output."
Uptime monitors catch the server being down, but not the cron that silently stopped firing.
I'm building Luota to fill that gap. Workflow assurance — it tells you whether the cron, webhook, or AI workflow actually finished on time with the right output, with evidence you can audit. Sits next to Sentry; doesn't replace it.
Looking for design partners. The ask: reply with one async workflow in your SaaS where silent failure would actually hurt — the cron that sends invoices, the webhook that processes Stripe events, the AI job that runs each morning. I'll DM you the specific silent-failure modes that workflow is most exposed to. Free, no pitch.
If we both like what comes out of that conversation, I'll wire up the first monitor for you — fully async via DM, also free while I'm in design-partner mode. No calls, no scheduling.
Reply with the workflow.
